Personal Favorites

People often ask us for advice about things to do in Daytona. This is a list of some of our personal favorite places and activities.

Beach

Of course the beach is the first place we go. Cars are allowed on the beach. The speed limit is 10 mph and it is enforced. It is always best to swim in front of a life guard. They are on duty during the day all year round. The bigger the waves, the bigger the currents, so be safe when you play. There are usually vendors on the beach. You can buy food and rent things like umbrellas, chairs, bikes, and four-wheelers. You can pick up a lot of the things you need like beach toys, boogie boards, beach towels and bathing suits at the local souvenir shops, grocery stores, Wal-Mart, or the mall. Check out the Live Beach Cam. Send the link to your friends. Then go stand in front of it and call them to say "Wish you were here!"

Yes, we found a very friendly church where we like to go when we are in Daytona. They recently started a new worship service that meets in an elementary school near the condo. Take Dunlawton west and turn left at City Center Pkwy (the road right before Walmart).

On the Sunglow Pier. Be sure you go out to the open-air dining room. If the weather is nice, the windows will be open and you can see the ocean through the slats in the floor. Good food. I've heard they have great breakfasts. Great place to go for a quick dessert.

On the north end of where the race track was when they used to actually race on the beach. Outdoor dining with a great view of the ocean. Great racing pictures and history. Bar & Grill atmosphere. Live music every night.
